Terrible Car Designs That Actually Worked | WheelHouse
Donut Media:
- Hollywood is endlessly churning out
horrible remakes of our
favorite movies ever year.
Is the car industry any different?
Car enthusiasts are some of the most
nostalgic people out there.
But when manufacturers started rolling out
modern retro-inspired cars in
the late 90s and early 2000s,
they got some mixed reviews.
Some were actually decent and maintained
the essence of the original design.
And sometimes it didn't work out.
Actually, a lot of the
time it didn't work out
this whole mess started
out with one ratted-out,
corporate baby boomer,
nightmare of a hot rod.
The Plymouth Prowler.
On paper, this car is legit.
It was designed by Chip Foose
as a senior design thesis
while he was attending design college.
It was a unique car at a
time when American cars
were boring clones of each other.
Hot rods historically had
a V8, the flathead V8.
And Prowlers would have a V8 too,
if they hadn't run into budget issues.
Prowlers built after 1997
had an updated aluminum V6,
making 253 horsepower,
and 250 and torques.
That's not crazy, but when you consider
that the car weighs only 2,800 pounds,
that's what I like to call not bad.
They were able to keep the weight down
by using an all aluminum construction,
which might of actually contributed
to it's demise in the long run.
Making a car out of
aluminum is very expensive,
especially back in the early 2000s.
And after all was said and done,
Chrysler didn't have much money left over
for things like the engine,
transmission, and interior.
So they went to their parts bin.
They used the engine and
four-speed automatic transmission
from the 300M, gear lever
from a Dodge Intrepid,
the radio from a Durango,
and interior parts from a Dodge Caravan.
The Prowler went from being
a completely unique roadster
to being a vanilla Frankenstein.
And they didn't stop there.
Chrysler was like "Hey,
"what if we keep doing
this weird hot rod (bleep),
"but we carry it over
to a passenger vehicle?"
And that's the genesis
for one of the most
hated cars of this era.
You already know what I'm talking about.
The Chrysler PT, or
Personal Transit Cruiser
borrowed the radical arch
grille from the Prowler.
The cabin's design was meant to evoke
a 1930s wagon sort of vibe, and it didn't.
PT Cruisers were often seen
with vinyl flames on the side,
chrome accents, and wood paneling.
Not even a turbo-charged
version with 230 horsepower
could make you forget
how goofy this car looked
(engine revving)
These new hot rods were the exact opposite
of the cars they were paying homage to.
They were watered down,
underpowered, and corporate.
That's not to say things
didn't get better though.
In 2005, Ford successfully pulled off
a retro-futuristic reboot of the Mustang,
and saved us from the
somewhat boring SN95.
The new design called back
to the fastback Mustangs of the 60s,
and Ford's updated engines
definitely had some more 'Stang in them.
There were so many
special edition Mustangs
of this generation.
There was the GT350, the
Super Snake, the Boss 302.
But those aren't my favorite.
That honor has to go to the Shelby GT500.
I mean, how could you
not fall in love with it?
It had a top speed of 202 miles per,
and Carroll Shelby himself
had a hand in designing it.
Actually he gave final
approval on that last one.
And technically, that one
isn't in the 2005 version.
It still had a solid rear end,
so that makes it a real Mustang.
Am I right?
You know what I'm talking about.
At the time that it came out,
I was the most powerful
production Mustang ever.
The supercharged and inter-cooled V8
made 662 pretty evil horses.
This thing is a monster,
and if I'm being honest,
sometimes I pretend I'm driving this car
instead of my Mustang.
I guess there's something to be said
about redesigning a classic car,
versus trying to make a brand new one
look like it's a classic.
Which is what happened with the Prowler.
But sometimes a company can screw it up,
even if they're redesigning
one of their classic cars.
Which is exactly what happened
with one of Ford's other
cars, the Thunderbird.
(upbeat jazz music)
Ford debuted the 11th
gen Thunderbird in 2002
after a five year absence.
The retro-futurist T-bird
was highly anticipated.
But the car took way
too long to be released
and it didn't really live up to the hype.
Personally, that thing looks all right.
Ford wanted to market the
T-bird to older customers,
surprised from the get-go, so
speed wasn't their concern.
Comfort was.
Suspension was soft, and it only came with
a five-seed automatic transmission.
As was the case with the Prowler,
the engine in the
Thunderbird wasn't that bad.
This was when Ford owned Jaguar.
So it has 3.8 liter Jaguar
V8 pushing 280 ponies.
It road on the Ford DEW platform,
shared with the Lincoln
LS and Jaguar S-Type.
Seems like it could scoot, right?
Well, unfortunately, Ford
tuned the Thunderbird
for Lazy Sunday cruising
and not for scooting.
Although there was a
rumored supercharged version
being developed before
production shut down.
RIP.
Another boomer design
nightmare is the Chevy SSR.
Short for Super Sport Roadster,
is a hardtop convertible
hot rod truck styled after
the advanced design trucks of the 1940s.
You know, you want the
utility of a hot rod
with the performance of a small truck.
Great idea.
SSRs were in production from 2003 to 2006.
One reason they've become a
popular collector car lately
is because for the 2006 production year,
Chevy started putting LS2s
and Tremec six-speed manual
transmissions into the SSR,
which is pretty sick to be honest.
(engine revving)
So I'm gonna move on to a modern redesign
that wasn't a failure at all.
The new Beetle.
(funky jazz music)
The People's Car has been bought
over 21 million times worldwide
since they started making them in 1938.
Between then and 1979, a span of 41 years,
not much changed in the
design of the Beetle.
So when VW debuted the Concept One
at the 1994 Detroit Auto Show,
people's minds were blown.
The design was futuristic and timeless.
They started selling it in the US in 1998.
It had a freaking flower
holder on the dash,
and I think there was an
option to have flower wheels.
But VW also offered some cool trim levels,
like the ultra rare Beetle RSI
that had all-wheel drive,
race-tuned suspension,
and a freaking VR6 making 220 horsepower.
That would be freaking dope, dude.
(engine revving)
one of our editors at Donut here, Bridget,
has a sick Beetle R that
has a performance upgrade.
Huge Beetle fan, and
a 210 horsepower version
modeled after a racing Beetle from 1973.
Freaking sick, I mean
look at those wheels.
Look at the little angry eyebrow things.
That's cool.
(upbeat pop music)
A few other models worth mentioning
are the 2008 Dodge Challenger reboot,
which we all know and most of us love,
despite it's enormous size.
My personal favorite being the
SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody,
just the name alone.
It also has 797 horsepower.
And I'd also like to mention
Chrysler's Crossfire SRT-6.
It's all right.
There were a lot of fails that happened
in the early 2000s, but overall,
I would consider the
retro-futurist movement
to be a pretty cool thing
that happened in car history.
Thanks for watching Wheel House.

How to Change Fluid in a Manual Transmission : Removing Drain Plug From a Manual Transmission
expertvillage:
In this clip, we're going to talk about the
proper service procedure for changing the
transmission fluid in a standard transmission.
In this step, we're going to talk about locating
of our drain and fill plugs and placement
of our drain pan. I'm going to go ahead and
roll underneath the vehicle now. The drain
plug and fill plugs are going to be located
on the same side of the transmission case.
This one right here is my drain plug, you
can see it's actually labeled drain, right
here. The fill plug is located, like I said,
on the same side but at a much higher location,
right here. This one is actually labeled fill,
as well. I'm going to take my crescent wrench
and go ahead and break them loose. I'm going
to take the fill plug out first. We don't
have any damage or anything leaking on us
by removing the fill plug. That's the fill
plug right there. The actual size is a fifteen
sixteenths, you may have to use a wrench or
a socket to break it loose, if it's excessively
corroded or somebody over tightened it. This
is my drain plug, I'm going to go ahead and
break it loose. It's a righty tighty lefty
loosy kind of bolt. You're not going to want
to screw this one out yet. As you can see
there's a little bit of oil just starting
to emerge out from there. What I'm going to
do is just leave it finger tight, roll out
and place my drain pan and then commence the
unthreading, until I have the bolt all the
way out and then we'll drain the fluid. That
is the proper way to locate your drain and
fill plugs.
Chevrolet SSR; Üçü bir arada V8 silindirli Retro-Modern
Sekizsilindir:
Hello everyone!
Today, we're together with a pretty interesting Chevrolet car.
We can't know how we call this car, as pick-up or SUV
or cabrio car or coupe car.
Because, it's a car that contains many different features on its body.
Also as you can realize from its view, this is a car that has retro lines exceedingly.
This car was made in the memory of 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pick-up,
to be honoured that car on its 50. production year.
Our seen black, retro designed and interesting car is called as 2004 Chevrolet SSR.
Now, if we make a general introduction of this car,
it has same platform with mid-size SUV cars of Chevrolet of that times.
For that reason, its ground clearance is a bit much.
Engine on it is same with them too.
Just shortened with respect to that models.
And this interesting, commendation and modernly designed version of 1954 model came to exist.
The engine on it is V8,
5.3L and its power is 300HP.
But car is pretty heavy, 2.2 tons.
This 5.3L V8 engine can reach this 2.2 tons car on nearly 7.5-8 seconds from rest to 100km/h speed.
An Overhead Valve (OHV) engine.
So, typical American engine, if it's overhead, then it's called as OHV.
And this is a design that affects its sound, working way etc.
and we can say that a very traditional engine.
Now if you please, let's see the engine by opening bonnet and see what's inside.
Yes, our engine with SSR signature on it came to forefront as seen.
It's huge and filled this space completely.
As we said, it's V8, OHV and has 300HP power.
and it can reach this car to 100km/h on nearly 7.5-8 seconds from rest.
And let me emphasize its weight which is 2.2 tons again.
A pretty heavy car.
When we look general aspect,
it shows almost the same design lines of that pick-up truck model of 1954
with its front design,
mudguard bulges and slight cambers.
So, we can say that it's a very beautiful retro design for this car.
Already designed with this purpose.
We need to pay attention to sizes of tires, their size is 255/50/19.
So, it has nearly same dimensions with E segment SUV cars of present.
Actually this proved basing of it on SUV cars.
Also you can load your stuff to rear side of car.
Also can open the top
and you can drive it as a sport coupe car, a speedster in that way.
Now, let's see the most beautiful state of our car, so the lowered top state.
Even, we need to start the engine to do this act.
Let's push the gas pedal slightly.
Yes, the button on here opens our tent (top).
We're lowering it now.
Yes, operation done.
We obtained a speedster look car from our hardtop car.
Look, how nice it looks.
Everything is available on this car,
coupe, cabrio
pickup truck and SUV, so whatever you want is available on this car.
Even, let me show you the trunk.
By the way, because of being for two person, the part that tent enters is just this (shown by hand) division.
It enters to here and hidden.
Standard metal top, we already saw it while lowering.
That provides it nicely hiding.
A flat view was obtained.
Our key is in that way as seen.
Top lid of trunk is opened by using this button.
We hold from here and lifting it up.
We've a trunk in that way.
To open that part,
from there,
yes, now, you see our enormous trunk.
Almost a pick-up car.
Already, 3.5 tons is written on its vehicle licence as maximum payload of this car.
So, when you consider its 2.2 tons weight too,
almost 1.2-1.3 tons load carrying capacity is possible.
A that much commercial vehicle with this issue, very nice and interesting.
A rear-wheel drive car,
pretty strong and its driving is very pleasant.
Also there is an issue like that,
for example let's say you're inside of car,
I don't know if any person want to sleep on trunk but
there is a latch on there for it.
Normally there isn't on pick-up cars.
When you pull this latch, top lid opens and you can get out of trunk.
So, you cannot be locked inside of trunk.
This is too a nice feature.
Now, let's bring our car to its previous state.
Now, let's look at its lines.
For example would you look at exhaust pipes, they are like stove pipe.
All in all we throw all exhaust gasses of our V8 engine.
Lines are very beautiful.
Mudguards are bulged,
these lines refers to 50 years before car directly.
Our SSR writing is on here, already it reveals how it's strong with red colour and R letter exceedingly.
For example I'm looking at the car and its bulges from here,
It has very sharp and right angular bulges,
it looks very nice, a very retro design.
And because of being of tyres are out of car with its rims,
it has an extreme special view.
When you see a car like this on traffic,
people don't know can be surprised by saying what kind of a car this is.
They wonder many features of it such as what kind of features it has, what brand etcetera.
It stands very exotic.
It's 2004 model as we said and a design that belongs to nearly 12-13 years before.
It was started to sell in 2003
but generally 2004 versions of this car are available on the market.
For example, things on sides, very interesting,
there is side steps same as SUV and pick-up cars.
Why, this car is already a raised high car.
also has an SUV platform,
so this car has everthing on design of it.
Now, if you please let's look at its interior and see together what kind of details are inside of it.
Yes, now we get in our car.
A very normal (ordinary) cockpit welcomed us in contrast with the exterior of car.
So, there is no such an extreme feature in my opinion.
It's standard, typical American, I mean accustomed features.
For example, finer and higher quality production that we see on German and Japanese cars
cannot be found on American cars especially produced on same era with this car (2000's).
Buttons of stereo are pretty big as seen.
Steering wheel is pretty big too in same way.
Actually it's fitted well with the general concept of car.
Gear stick is in here, frankly it was made nice and like a knob.
Even it looks like a mace when you hold and grasp it.
Here is the button that turn on/off the top of car.
Also power door locks, windows operating switches for sides.
And traction control button is available on here.
These are air conditioner adjustments.
It's already a manual air conditioner which is understood from this button as seen.
This is recirculation vent.
Also rear window defogger switch etc., so a pretty standard manual air conditioner is available on this car.
Here is typical American traditions.
Hmmmm..
Glassholders, small divisions.
Even in here too, let's look at it too.
Absolute must of American cars,
these are used on most of cars today but it was used on only American cars in that times.
Our tiny air vent grills in here.
We're looking door interior part,
an adjustment switch that is used for side mirror is available on there.
And door handle, these are made in accord with part that gear lever is available.
Even, there is a shiny black colour coating near gearbox.
In same way,
it was made above of car.
However, could you please look at this, my arm stands how much above during sitting.
When you look from the general concept of car aspect,
a beautiful, nice and low ride.
A satisfying ride, already we'll see this while driving it.
It'll be interesting, the level of door is on my shoulders.
Here is for example, let's continue to interior.
This is hard plastic by the way,
typical American and springs a bit.
Also there are some bulges on them generally.
So, that kind of a workmanship is available on it.
Here is glovebox.
Yes, apart from that, there is nothing else to talk about.
Headrests are fixed.
Even, it looks alike Dodge Viper seats exceedingly.
They are different groups but accepted similar styles on seats.
So, seats and leathers of them are nice.
Also everything is on brand-new condition.
We look in general aspect, yes.
These are...
sun visors and make up mirrors.
Even, look, there are various settings on our rear view mirror.
These buttons are too American tradition,
we think in that way.
They put garage doors turning on/off controllers to these buttons.
Also ligthing and dimming is available,
they used nice features.
But when you think it's a 2004 model car,
these can be accepted as standard features.
Let's look at indicators, in that way.
Even, let's start the car too
by stepping on the brake.
Yes, you hear the sound of V8, starting it is very beautiful.
Let me rev up the engine.
A 5.3 liters, V8
300hp and Overhead Valve (OHV) engine.
Sound is very characteristic.
It's muttering (grumbling), very very very beautiful.
Yes, we saw the features of our car.
Already the engine and design of our car come to the forefront mainly.
Now, we will look at the features of this engine,
test it on outside,
go enter to the traffic.
Also will listen its sound and speedup with it.
Let's enjoy this open-top car.
We're together with a very extraordinary car.
So, let's see how it is going.
Yes, we started our SSR drive.
And firstly let's step on the gas if you please.
Wooow!
You hear the sound.
Sound is perfect, traction is perfect.
We really are in a wondrous car.
We wanted to start with that kind of a speedup.
As we said, our car has 300Ps power engine.
And it make you feel each one of this horsepower.
Also has 450Nm torque.
And this is too felt exceedingly.
But all in all our car is a crossover
and has a platform like an SUV.
And for that reason,
it makes you feel different feelings.
You suppose it sport car but not,
suppose pickup or cabrio but not these also.
However, not just one of these but little by little from all of them.
A really superb car from that view.
And for two person, so you can call it as speedster.
One of the most unique automobiles that were produced.
So, all car types are included in this car.
And has a hard suspension system on it.
For example we passed just now,
it really makes you felt this.
Let me buzz this V8 again on there.
Really wondrous.
We are driving on very bumpy roads.
We feel bumps but in a soft way.
Of course tyres are pretty big and low rise,
this affects it too.
This car was made to obtain a typical muscle car.
But has a very different style.
WooHoo!
Incredible!
So, it transfers this power and torque to the ground in such a nice way.
Also it has a 4-speed automatic transmission and can transfer better,
but these brilliant feelings of rear-wheel drive is available on this car exceedingly.
Both engine is really maniac,
a crazy V8,
and transforming this traction is typical American.
It makes you felt every beauty and pleasure.
But the place where we're on is an empty road.
There is no traffic, only very few cars.
We really pay attention to traffic and do these kind moves on empty roads, you guys please don't do this move on normal traffic.
Now, let's do zero to 100km/h if you please.
Yes,
now our mileage, look at the sound,
40 miles!
50 miles!
and 60 miles!
So we reached to 100km/h.
We hit the 80 miles per hour at the end of road.
A perfect 0-100km/h with its perfect sound.
I didn't count it, so you can count while watching.
Really magnificient.
A spectacular speedup which pushes from back and says "Go man goooo" is available.
By the way the sprint of this car to 100km/h is nearly 7.5 seconds.
This value may not sounds good on present conditions.
However, being a car that was produced with 2003 and 2004's technology
and also not having any supercharger systems on its engine
must be considered.
Don't forget these please.
Let's make zero to 100km/h in here too.
Yes, now
we stopped.
Yes, time to zero to 100km/h, a ramp is in here.
Here we gooo!
How great!
We started by shaking the rear side.
Yes, it's 100km/h.
Perfect.
It's really wondrous dear friends.
We loved this car, it contains everything.
Hope that you liked too.
Thanks for watching us.
Here's Why PT Cruisers are Crap
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines, Rossy says I got a 06
Chrysler PT Cruiser 123 thousand miles
the computer most of the time it won't
shift gears a bunch of warning lights
I can't even drive it, definitely get rid
of
the stupid thing I mean it's a 06
cruiser 123 thousand miles it's worth
practically nothing and from my
experience of working on my customers
cars that's the time to get rid of them
before you start throwing a bunch of
money into a useless pile of junk that
just falls apart in front of your very
eyes they were horrible vehicles they
looked cool and originally they sold the
heck out of them cuz they're like mini
gangster cars they were kind of
cool-looking right but they were made
like garbage head gasket problems
automatic transmission problems air
conditioning problems in your case
computer failure problems and they'll
never be worth anything 14 years old now
hopefully you had a few years and got
some of your money out of it just get
rid of then get yourself a Toyota Honda
and forget ever buying another Chrysler
product because if you think of 2006
ones bad that was before Fiat owned Chrysler
so now
Fiat owns them they are even worse pop
sports says how hard is it to program the
key for a 16 Ford Focus do I have to take
it to the dealer first thing you do
whenever you do any of those keys it's
called around in your area to
professional locksmiths these days a lot
of locksmiths some of their biggest
profit things is doing keys for cars and
trucks because the dealers generally
mess with you it's a good market for these
locksmiths I had a customer that was
gonna go to the dealer with a Prius and
they wanted over $1000 he had lost his
key to do it reprogram the car I sent it
to a locksmith really nice Pakistani
American dude he did the whole thing for
375 so you want to call in your area
real locksmiths that do that kind of
stuff because let's face it they don't
have the overhead of a dealer and so
they can do things a lot lower price and
still make a profit because they can buy
those keys for twenty thirty forty
dollars a lot of times and then they
just have to program them and if they
have the equipment to program go that
route don't start at the dealer
you're not gonna be able to just go to a
hardware store like yesterday did a key
made for those things no but a lot of
lots must do that stuff call around
Austin Burke asks I got an 05 civic
automatic the RPM is really high till
it shifts what could be the problem pray
you're low on floor check the fluid but
odds are the transmissions starting to
wear out that's how Honda's wear out if
you find that you just drive normally it
goes real high rpms until it shifts and
when it starts getting high rpms if
you take your foot off the gas and then
it shifts that means the transmission is
breaking down internally pretty typical
I see that as they age it's got a lot of
mileage on it that's what's happening
but I mean you can try changing fluid
the filter doesn't really even have ones
my experience with those take your foot
off the gas that shifts earlier that
means the transmission starting to go,
Jake Duncan he says I got a 2008 regular
cab tacoma no rust 148 thousand miles i
dream about getting a new or own but
here's some problems with some of them
should i sell it and upgrade it or
should i just drive mine till it's over
three hundred thousand miles well you
kind of answered your question the end
there, yeah just keep driving it those
things can run it awful long time I've
seen ones that are 35 years old and
they're still running good even at that
age they still run really well keep what
you got but thanks for solid built they
can last an awful long time as long as
you're not having any serious problems
with it don't overheat the engine who
knows how long that thing's gonna last
though I'm thirty money out now you
already got one it still works perfectly
fine yes that is there's no rush so just
keep driving it, homie g6 says Scotty
I got a 95 Ranger two-wheel drive
five-speed shakes when I go over 65
change the brake rotors tires and still
shake some people said it could be a
bent driveshaft or suspense here is the
first thing that you start out with yes
go to a very good front-end alignment
shop have them check your alignment
because it's not all that common but I'd
say that three or four out of every
hundred cars I see that shake like that
and all that stuff has been done it was
that the alignment was off it can be that
your alignment is off and it was shaking
certain speeds it's not all that common
but it does happen so you want to start
there, if it's not that it's a ranger so it's
rear-wheel drive you got a big old drive shaft
with u-joints if your u joints are worn it's
gonna be wobbling around have a guy
check the driveshaft is pretty easy Jack
it up turn and see if it's bad or see if
your joints are worn that can do that
too but sometimes it's an alignment it's
not all that common but I've seen it and
well I put new tires and stuff but if
they didn't do the alignment the
alignment is off it can make them shake a
certain speeds
artic says what are your thoughts on 1982
Datsun 720 pick up my Nissan's were
called Datsuns back in the day those
things could run for ever I had
customers with those things they go
through the washing machine they'd been
through hurricanes here in Texas and
they were still going down the road now
they weren't racing vehicles but it was
the standard transmission they were fast
enough and they weren't giant f150
that could haul tons of stuff haul enough
stuff for a truck that size they were
actually back in the day kind of running
neck-and-neck with the Toyota little
pickup trucks they were well-made pickup
trucks one another why a later one
Renault it took over the company but
that wasn't until 2000 back in 82 those
things are solid if you're thinking
about buying one now and it is not
rusted go ahead they can be great
vehicles, random Dave I got an 08 Jeep
Patriot with 121 thousand miles I've had
it since sixty thousand miles I'm not
sure if the manual fluid has
ever been changed way I definitely
change its manual transmissions our
splash lubrication
there's just gears and they splash
around and definitely change it you
don't want dirty stuff and it's not all
that important you want to do it every
once in a while to keep the dirt out but
an automatic transmission the fluid
dynamics are what make it actually
shifts so yeah on a manual transmission
definitely you want to change that
through what's not gonna hurt anything
if it's been in there a long time and if
it has been in our a long time it will
wear things out over years of getting
the seals dirty and gears dirty and the
fluids cheap is easy to do too

FASTEST Cars You Can Buy for CHEAP | WheelHouse
Donut Media:
- If you're like me,
you're always looking
for a reason to go fast.
But one thing that always
gets in the way of doing that
is money and my lack of it.
So, how do you go fast
on a shoe string budget?
We've already covered
how to get a cool ride
for under ten grand,
but this video is going
to be a little different.
We're not going to factor
in looks, cool factor,
reliability, fuel
efficiency, or even handling,
just the cheapest way to
go the absolute fastest
in a straight line.
Some cars might be stocked,
some will need a few modifications,
but they all have crazy potential.
Keep in mind that there are
a million ways of going fast,
these are just a few that we thought of.
You probably have some good ideas too,
so hit us up in the comments,
and while you're at it,
hit that like button,
and hey this episode is sponsored by Wix,
stick around to the end of
the episode to check out
the episode we made with
Wix's super easy to use tools.
The website's called BuffHorses.com
Yes, it's a real thing.
Now, on to the episode.
- Holy crap.
- From 2005 to 2007, the Cobalt
ss had an eten supercharged
version of the two liter ecotec inline for
making 205 horsepower.
You cane easily throw a
smaller pulley on there
to get a nice boost in power.
Don't be afraid to do that
because Chevy actually offered
smaller blower pulleys as a dealer option
so it's not that risky.
The supercharged engine couldn't
meet EPA standards for 2008
so for that year, the Cobalt went turbo.
You can get up to 155 miles an hour.
I found a tune online for 350 bucks
that boosts a stock engine
to 300 wheel horsepower
in a car that weighs 3,000 pounds.
You can get even more power with boltons.
I'm taking 350.
The best part is that you can
find Cobalts anywhere between
four and 6,000 dollars.
That's a pretty good deal,
but you know what car
has the same engine and is even cheaper?
The Saturn ion redline edition.
Did a Saturn really make this list?
It's got the same supercharged
ecotec from the Cobalt,
and in my opinion, looks a little better.
Luckily, these ion
redlines are still around.
I'm guessing because
no one knew about them,
and they're Saturns,
but we found at least five
of them for three grand,
and with a top speed of 144,
this makes the Saturn ion redline
the best value buy thus far.
- Holy crap.
- Next up is the Mitsubishi
eclipse, Eagle talon,
and Plymouth laser.
They're all basically the same thing.
This car shouldn't be a shock to anyone.
The first gen Mitsubishi
eclipse is a classic tuner
and for good reason.
It's got the rugged 4G63 iron block engine
that can handle a ton more power
if you wanted to modify it,
but does great on it's own.
This is the same motor that the Evo had.
The 4G63t powered GSX
puts out 195 horsepower.
It's not a lot, but that's the point.
It's typical for a stockbottom
end to handle 500 horsepower.
All you need to boost power
fast is a bigger turbo
and a fuel pump.
After market parts for
the 4G63 are pretty cheap,
and complete engines
aren't a bad deal either
if you're looking to swap.
I will concede that Eclipses
are becoming harder to find,
especially the all wheel drive GSX
which can drive up the price.
If you want to save that cash,
try finding any car with the 4G63 engine.
Cars like the fourth gen Mitsubishi Mirage
and the second gen Hyundai Sonata.
Imagine building a Sonata that ran tens.
Let's look at a few cars
that can be turned into absolute beasts
with an ebay whistleyboi.
Hashtag whistleyboi.
If you get your hands on a
first gen Chevy Silverado,
with the 5.3 liter vortec
v8 and a short bed,
that's already pretty fun for a truck,
but strap an ebay turbo onto that bad boy,
you're looking at tens at the drag strip.
No joke.
Bring it up with Tony Angelo.
He told me this.
I say throw that sucker in
anything it'll fit inside.
Fords, Nissans, Miatas, I don't care.
V8 the world.
There are literally millions
of five threes out there
which means they're cheaper than dirt too.
The five three might be the
most swapped engine ever
and the after market
for them is humongous.
Speaking of V8's,
I didn't mention the
Mustang on my last list,
but I will now.
I have it on good authority,
that the fourth gen, or SN95 Mustang,
is in their 4.6 liter V8s
respond incredibly well to turbo charging.
The SN95 gets budget bonus points too
because most people think
they're really ugly,
thus keeping demand low.
- Oh.
- You guys know I can't make a list
without putting a Honda on it.
People sleep on the Prelude.
Under the hood is the H22,
which I think of as Honda's
big block drag racing motor.
I'm not going to bull (beep) you okay,
nice Preludes are going
to command a nice price,
but you can get grody ones like this one
for under two grand.
Throw an ebay turbo on it,
and you've got a six sleeper
for test and tune nights
at the drag strip.
Shout out Famoso raceway.
The final car on this list
is probably my favorite.
It's the Dodge neon SRT4.
It's got a turbo from the factory,
doesn't have a muffler,
and it embarrassed Mustangs and
Camaros all through the obs.
These were rated at 230
hrsprs in the factory,
but Dodge was actually under rating them.
There are many reports of
people dino-ing stock SRT4's
and seeing 230 at the wheels.
You can find these things cheap,
but don't expect them to be nice.
Most of them are clocked out
and modded to hell and back,
If you really want to
go off the beaten path,
the PT cruiser GT came with he same engine
and made the same power.
The only downside is you
have to drive a PT cruiser.
Can't stomach the PT, then
look for a Dodge caliber SRT4.
It made 285 horses from a 2.4 liter engine
and also came with a 6 speed manual.
That's pretty sick.
I feel like we're actually
digging deep for these.
To end my list,
I have two honorable mentions
that can be fast as heck
but are super super duper hard to find.
The first is a Suzuki Swift GTI
which has a turbo'd 3 cylinder engine,
but you can't find them anywhere.
Believe me, I've tried.
If you see one for sale,
buy it because it's going to
be a classic in like five years
The second is the Dodge Omni GLH.
These things were tuned
by Carroll Shelby himself,
and the GLH stands for goes like hell,
which is how you know it's fast.
Hopefully you got some good
ideas from this episode.
Now, go buy something and make it fast.
Fast car, NASCAR.

How to Check Power Steering Fluid | Advance Auto Parts
Advance Auto Parts:
Checking your power steering fluid, not hard
to do at all. In fact, this is
one of your vehicle's vital fluids that keeps
everything running smoothly.
If you've ever heard your power steering pump
whine when you turn hard left
or hard right, chances are your power steering
pump is low on fluid.
Just locate the power steering fluid cap,
remove it, and you want to check
the level. In this case, there's three lines,
a low, a medium, and a high.
High being the max, low being the minimum.
Let's wipe it down, reinstall,
and get a good fluid level check.
Back it back out. Ours is right at the top
of the max. We're in good shape.
I like to wipe down the rim. Don't let any
dirt or contamination go down
inside. And reinstall the cap, and make sure
it seals.
Why Not to Buy a Chevrolet HHR Car
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines,
Marco's Delgado says Scotty I want to
get an HHR with a manual transmission
has 130,000 miles what are your thoughts
okay I don't like those GM products they
generally don't hold up over time, but
it's a standard transmission the worst
thing about the HHR are their automatic
transmissions are garbage and you don't
have one it's a manual transmission, now
that sets got 130,000 miles it's got a
little bitty four-cylinder engine in it
don't pay much for it, because they are
worth much when they're used, you get a
standard you get it at a cheap price
right, change the oil a lot take care of
it, who knows but don't pay much for it because just realize it when they get older
they're not worth that much money and
you want to pay much for it, and if you
get it cheap enough, hey you never know
it might last a long time just don't pay
too much for it because it isn't worth
that much, Theresa B says I got a 1998
Ford Taurus W hundred and sixty-four
thousand miles for free, but the radiator
was rusty, flushed alone, suspensions bad
valve cover transmission leaks
needs transmission motor mounts are
Ford Taurus is good car, okay
that's 98 Ford Taurus they actually had
quite a bit of problems, now the thing is
you got that car for nothing,
it runs decent and shifts decent do the
valve cover, oil leaks if it's not
leaking that bad, transmission fluid and
engine oils cheap just keep adding it,
and if the suspension is bad get some
struts and put them on it on and it will ride a
lot better, just don't put a whole bunch
of money into it, my advice would be,
drive a little while see how you feel
with it, does it feel solid enough does
it run and shift good enough and if it
does fix things a little at a time, if
it doesn't have just drive until the
wheels fall off and get rid of it, you
got it for nothing so you're not really
gonna be losing anything,
MDS 81 68 says, Scotty I have a shake or
wobble in the front when I take off from
a stop once in a while I thought it
could be the engine, clean the MAF
throttle port cleaner I had strut
replaced and it's still shaken or wobble
when I take off from a stop, a lot of
times it's just the motor or the
transmission mount is worn, because when
you take off, there's more torque on the
engine and so if the mounts are gone it will
wobble as it bounces back and forth
you want to check those mounts first to
see if there's any problem with that, now
let's say you have a car that is a
notorious problem like say, a Chrystler minivan that's doing
that
odds are two transmission is starting to
go out, because when you take off, if it
wobbles a lot of times it's the
transmission just starting to go out,
because if you got a suspension problem
like a bad tire or worn tie rods, the
faster you go the more it's gonna wobble
and yours is the other way around, it's
wobbling when you're taking off, you want
to pray that it's not an internal
transmission fault, because if it's that
you would have to go and get it rebuilt
which costs a fortune, so pray that it's
a motor or transmission mount first
because they're very easy to check, Zeno
2019 says Scotty I got a 2004
Trailblazer
and my dash lights aren't working what
could be the cause, people had the radio
out before the original dash cluster
and we got three more clusters put them
in and the light still didn't work what
could it be
it could be not having the radio when
you swap it out, because GM has these
insane designs, some of the modern cars
won't even start if you swap the radio
because part of the starting system
is in the radio circuitry, so you want to
check all the wiring by where the radio
was, something could easily be off now if
you hadn't had that radio taken out and not
replaced, the problem often is on those
you turn your lights on then you got
those things to make the lights brighter
or dimmer, that part often breaks now
that can be bypassed
because you can just take the wire off
of that and you can run it directly to
the clusters, when you have the car
running the cluster will get 12 volts
all the time and then the lights would
stay on, you couldn't adjust them and
make them dim or make them bright they'd
be bright all the time but hey, look at
me I'm getting old I want a bright so I
want those things as bright as they can
be, first thing I do is go to the light
feed on that cluster and just give it 12
volts and as it lights up, just rewire it
so that power comes from the ignition
switch to there when you start it up and
they'll be lit up all the time, Edoardo
Becerra says, Scotty hello from Italy I
have a 1984 Audi Quattro it overheats the
fan works I checked the inlet and outlet
temperature the two radiators and enters
in at 240 and exits at 140 what can it be, okay well it's leaving at a lot lower it's your
radiators are losing a hundred degrees
so they're getting rid of heat they're
doing their job, now the problem with
Audi's is, as they age they often have
problems with blown head gaskets, your
engine could just be putting out so much
heat that it's overheating
you want to watch my video, how to tell
if your head gasket is blown, do that test
because if the head gasket is blown it'll
overheat no matter how fast your
radiator can dissipate heat the engine
will create too much heat and then it will
keep overheating, so if you never want to
miss another one of my new car repair
videos, remember to ring that Bell!
